Latin American film is populareven in far away countries across theAtlantic Ocean.

Macedonia, for example.No wonder the winner of the 22nd

San Diego Latino Film Festival postercompetition, graphic designer and art-ist Zoran Cardula, is from that south-eastern European country.

The winner was announced dur-ing the film festival´s Somos Estrellasposter unveiling and benefit event,

which took place on January 23, atthe new Karinas Mexican Seafoodrestaurant in downtown San Diego.

Students at a Logan Heights col-lege-preparation program will soonhave state-of-the-art computersthanks to a donation from informa-tion technologycorporation Hewlett-Packard (HP).

In the next few weeks, Barrio Lo-gan College Institute will receive 50personal and laptop computers fromHP as part of their seven-year old col-laboration.

Of the 50 computers, 25 PCs willbe used by students, 10 laptops willbe for BLCI office staff, and the re-maining 15 laptops will be availableto high school seniors, who untilrecentlyhad to share eight PCs.

The 50 computers are “a blessing,”according to Jose Cruz, BLCI execu-tive director.

“The students are very enthusias-tic about the new HP computers, es-pecially our high school seniors whohad to share a few computers. BLCIhas been blessed by the continuousgenerosity of HP, whose donationshelp our students’ academic efforts.”

BLCI had been working with re-furbished computers for many years,so the equipment and software wasoutdated, slow, Cruz said. Now stu-dents will be able to use the latest soft-ware to work on school projects.

“They’ll be able to run certain mathand other subjects’ software,” he said.“These computers will be faster,more efficient for students’ home-work. Also, all staff is getting newdesktops, so we will be able to workmore efficiently as well.”

Cruz said that the donation repre-sents more than $50,000 in savingsfor BLCI.

“Working with BLCI is always in-

graduates of the BLCI program haveenrolled in college. And 81 percentof those go directly to a four-yearuniversity. Around 94 percent ofBLCI alumni graduate from college.

For 2015, Cruz said BLCI will fo-cus in expanding its Chula Vista pro-gram, which serves the Castle Parkarea as part of Chula Vista PromiseNeighborhood program, which fo-cuses on low-income families.

“We’re continuing to grow to havea bigger impact in our communities,”Cruz said. “We welcome partners,corporations or non-profits, with simi-lar mission.”

South Bay Community Services, asocial services agency in Chula Vista,is working with BLCI in Chula Vista.In the short time since the Chula VistaCollege Institute opened, it has had atremendous impact in the Castle Parkneighborhood, which is predominantlyLatino.

“BLCI is a great partner and it’swonderful to be able to bring theirsuccessful model to Chula Vista andto the Castle Park community,” saidMauricio Torre, Youth & Family De-velopment Department director for

New HP computers “a blessing” for Barrio Logan studentsThe treaty that gaveAmerica a ‘legal’ landgrabbing licenseBy Andy Porras

It may have been the biggestAmerican Land Grab since thecoming of Columbus.

And for those early Spanish-speaking inhabitants of California,for example, the Treaty ofGuadalupe Hidalgo was as good asthe countless of Indian Treaties theU.S. issued. In other words, toquote a Native American of theday, “they are not worth the paperthey are printed on.”

Since the Treaty’s inception, bothNative Americans and MexicanAmericans (i.e. Chicanos, Latinos,etc.) have struggled to achievepolitical and social equality withinthe United States, often citing theTreaty as a document that promisedcivil and property rights. In addition,there have been hundreds of courtcases citing the Treaty as a basisfor land claims, but very fewclaimants have been successful inregaining their land. Adding insult toinjury, former Mexican citizens, onthe other hand, were consideredforeigners by the U.S. settlers whomoved into the new territories. Apractice that still exists in America’sGreat Southwest.

“Within a generation theMexican-Americans became adisenfranchised, poverty-strickenminority, contends Dr. RichardGriswold del Castillo, professor andhead of Chicana Studies at SanDiego State University. “The Treatythat ended the U.S.-Mexican War

Conmemoran el XVII Aniversario del Instituto Municipal de Arte y Cultura

Por Paco Zavala

Han transcurrido 17 años dehaberse realizado la aperturadel Instituto Municipal de Artey Cultura de Tijuana, espaciocreado para cubrir la con-certación y el enlace entregobierno y sociedad paraimpulsar la creación y par-ticipar en el proceso cultural delas comunidades ávidas desaborear el néctar delicioso delarte y la cultura.

El Instituto Municipal deArte y Cultura (IMAC) selocaliza en uno de los edificiosmás emblemáticos de la ciu-dad, el Antiguo Palacio Munici-pal, ubicado en Calle Segunday Calle Constitución del Centrode Tijuana.

Este edificio fue rescatadoel 23 de enero de 1988, paraconvertirlo en un espacio en elque se alberga la cultura; en else localizan hoy día: el ArchivoHistórico de Tijuana, el Museode Historia de Tijuana, laGalería de la ciudad, la Bibli-oteca Braulio Maldonado y lasOficinas Administrativas delIMAC.

Como consecuencia en elconvergen las corrientes, ideasy el talento de artistas locales,regionales y nacionales plas-madas en su trabajo.

Para celebrar el XVII ani-versario del IMAC, se diseñóun programa de actividades enel que se incluyó la par-

ticipación del grupo musical“La Ballena de Jonás”, el quecon su música alegre y guapa-chosa colaboró a la celebraciónde nuevos proyectos de infra-estructura para mejorar losprogramas y el alcance de losmismos para este 2015.

Al evento asistieron fun-cionarios del gobierno munici-pal, autoridades del ámbito cul-tural y ex directores de lainstitución.

La celebración de esteaniversario se encuentra a-compañado de importantesproyectos de desarrollo eninfraestructura y de pro-gramación cultural del IMAC.Para tal efecto informó JesúsFlores Campbell, Director dela institución, acompañado porRodolfo López Fajardo, Secre-tario de Desarrollo Social delAyuntamiento de Tijuana, enrepresentación del PresidenteMunicipal Dr. Jorge AstiazaránOrcí, quienes dieron una calu-rosa bienvenida a un grannúmero de invitados que asis-tieron al evento.

Flores Campbell, dijo: “Hoy,este aniversario es especialporque tenemos tantas cosasbuenas que compartirles, nosolo la ampliación de las Casasde la Cultura de Playas y ElPípila, con anfiteatros querepresentan ante todo unespacio importante dondedifundir el arte y una forma debrindar otra ventana a quienes

asisten”.Agregó en su discurso:

“Las orquestas del IMAC y laOrquesta Sinfónica Juvenil,tendrán a partir de esta infra-estructura, nuevos lugares parasus ensayos y donde brindar ala ciudadanía: conciertos ypresentaciones”.

Además con recursos gesti-onados por el Diputado CrisLópez, bajo un esquema inte-resante es posible que serealice la construcción de laprimera etapa de la Casa de laCultura de San Antonio de losBuenos, que sería la cuarta enla ciudad y atendería a toda lapoblación en ese sector, el cualdemanda un espacio para sushijos.

Rodolfo López Fajardo porsu parte destacó que el papelque desempeña la cultura, tieneen los ejes de acción del Ayun-tamiento de Tijuana, al cual sereconoce como herramienta deprevención del delito, así comoun medio para impactar deforma positiva a la comunidad.

Otra noticia comentada eneste evento es el regreso delas bibliotecas de la ciudad alInstituto Municipal de Arte yCultura, lo cual es una de lasbondades de este ayunta-miento; aseveró López Fa-jardo.

El evento de referenciaconcluye con el corte de unpastel, hecho a escala delhistórico edificio del Antiguo

Palacio Municipal y patrimoniode Tijuana, como sede delIMAC y termina el festejo conla participación de “La Ballenade Jonás”, grupo que con sucalidad musical y artística harepresentado a la región en elresto del país y allende lasfronteras.

Ahora bien a 17 años dehaber iniciado operaciones elInstituto Municipal de Arte yCultura, indudablemente hamejorado el rubro del arte y lacultura y ha llevado a Tijuanaa participar en muchos forosmexicanos y extranjeros condesenvoltura y gran éxito, asílo hemos constatado.

Además con sus accionesha logrado sustraer un gransector juvenil de posiblescaminos equivocados y los hallevado por senderos de su-peración y de logros.

El Frente CívicoMichoacano y suapoyo a losmigrantesPor Abel Astorga Morales

Desde finales del año 2014empezó a gestarse en elestado mexicano deMichoacán el Frente CívicoSocial de Michoacán, en elque se aglutinan diversossindicatos y grupos sociales,para acumular todo eldescontento que existe enese estado sobre losdirigentes de todos lospartidos y todos los niveles degobierno. La idea esdesarrollar poder políticoelectoral con el objetivo detomar control del gobierno delestado y por consecuenciaimponer un programa degobierno “emanado delpueblo”. Una de lasorganizaciones que conformaeste Frente, es AlianzaBraceroproa activa desde1998, y que durante 17 añosha abrazado la causa de losex migrantes braceros tantoen México como en EstadosUnidos.

Desde finales del 2014 elFrente realizó diversasacciones significativas, y másrecientemente, el 21 de eneroen Morelia, integrantes deBraceroproa bloquearon lavialidad en ambos sentidosfrente a la Casa de Gobierno.Con esta y otras acciones sebusca que se conciertenreuniones con el Secretariode Gobierno, representantesde migración y la Secretariade Salud. Son diversas laspeticiones de los ex braceros,mismas que enviaron en unpliego petitorio (auspiciadopor el Frente Cívico deMichoacán) al gobernadordel estado Salvador JaraGuerrero.

Entre las peticiones delpliego -firmado por VenturaGutiérrez, líder deBraceroproa- destacan que,los ex braceros solicitan quese acuerde una reunión conel Secretario de Salud paradarle a conocer la idea de unfondo especial dentro delFideicomiso de los Exbraceros (30 MDP) quepudiera beneficiar a cientosde ex migrantes michoacanoscon hoja de pago que todavíano se les paga su apoyosocial de 38 mil pesosaprobado desde 2005.También, que su gobiernoestatal solicite a la Secretariade Gobernación (SEGOB) labase de datos de ex bracerosy sus beneficiarios que estánpublicados en la listas 40-46desde el año 2012, y que nohan cobrado, ya que 853 deestas personas son deMichoacán.

They lost the bet, those whocounted on the movement fiz-zling out at the end of the year.The government failed in itsattempt to bury the case. Ef-forts to cast the tragedy intothe pit of oblivion came upagainst the persistence of col-lective memory and sharedoutrage.

On January 26, for theeighth time since the fatefulSeptember 26, tens of thou-sands of people from varioussectors marched through thestreets of the capital with atwo-pronged demand: to bringback alive the 43 disappearedstudents of Ayotzinapa and totransform national public life.Nothing less.

Four months after the crimeagainst students of the RaulIsidro Burgos teaching collegein Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, andgiven the lack of credible re-sults of the investigation by theMexican government, themovement maintains its capac-ity to mobilize people and thistime managed to achieve anew level of coordination withsocial movements opposed tothe regime of Enrique PeñaNieto.

The VIII Day of Global Ac-tion for Ayotzinapa and Mexicoconsisted of ten hours ofmarches from the four cornersof Mexico City to the Zocalo,in addition to protest activitiesin more than 40 cities in thecountry and the world. In thefirst march of the year, which

showed the failure of thosewho assumed that the Decem-ber holidays would stop themomentum of the protests, thestudents’ parents called on allthe families of the victims ofenforced disappearances in thecountry to the joint the fight.

Mario Cesar, the father ofManuel who was among thedisappeared, initiated the rallywith a call for unity in the pro-tests against enforced disap-pearance in Mexico:

“It’s amazing the pain youfeel when you have a missingchild. I encourage all parentswho have lost sons or daugh-ters to contact us, so we´re incommunication, so they tooraise their voices because wearen’t the only ones… Thebodies found in the clandestinegraves also have faces, names,families who are entitled toknow who these bodies belongto. To all those people, I inviteyou to join us so we can find asolution to this problem.”

Several speakers invited thethousands of people present atthe rally that closed the day, tothe National People’s Conven-tion to be held on Feb. 5 and 6in Chilpancingo, Guerrero tobuild strength and create con-ditions for the installation of anew constitutional assembly.February 5 is the anniversaryof the promulgation of the 1917Mexican Constitution and anational holiday.

Parents of the college stu-dents, each carrying a posterof their missing son, marchedalongside members of Section

XVIII of the National Unionof Education Workers (SNTE,by its Spanish initials), a mem-ber of the democratic current,the National Coalition of Edu-cation Workers (CNTE).

A huge praying mantiscrafted in wood and cardboardby members of the MexicanPuppet Center bore the phrase“It was the state”. The phrasehas become the slogan of pro-testers to refute the implau-sible official version of eventsthe night of September 26 inIguala, Guerrero. It has gainedstrength now lately with grow-ing accusations that the Mexi-can army was also involved in

the crimes.Omar Garcia, an Ayotzi-

napa student and survivor ofthe attacks, acknowledged thestrength and determination ofthe parents who have contin-ued to demand for more than120 days that their sons be re-turned alive. He noted that thegovernment still does not ac-cept its direct participation inthe events of September 26 inIguala, and is doing everythingpossible to close the case with-out resolving it.

Government authoritieshave even sought to deny theforced disappearance of thestudents of the rural teachers’

school. “In the past few days,in their report on human rightsreleased internationally, theydon’t even touch on Septem-ber 26, and keep talking aboutthe disappeared before thatdate, although this problem hastranscended borders and allMexicans are talking about it,”he said.

Garcia warned that it is timeto do more than marches, andinvited “all organized and un-organized members of societyto coalesce in a great nationalmovement to deeply transformour country. We cannot walk

Inaugurará El Colef el mural Ancestros, deÁlvaro Blancarte, en “El Chaparral”

“Ancestros/Tipei Ñakor Yaak”, la obra mural más reciente del pintor sinaloense radicado enBaja California, Álvaro Blancarte, ubicada en el cruce fronterizo de “El Chaparral” seráinaugurada el próximo 10 de febrero, en el marco de la celebración del Gran México.

El mural, que resalta distintas figuras representativas del pasado del territorio transfronterizo,es una obra matérica (que hace uso de materiales como la arena, el aserrín, el vidrio, o de corteso desgarros, con colorido variado, diferenciando las zonas trabajadas con materia de las demás),la cual recupera elementos simbólicos provenientes de los pueblos nativos de la región,particularmente de la cultura Kumiai, en cuyo territorio se asienta la ciudad de Tijuana.

La presencia de la cultura Kumiai dentro de la obra, cuyo desarrollo se llevó a cabo a lo largode un área que se compone de los territorios de Tijuana y Tecate, en el estado de Baja Califor-nia y la zona de San Diego, en los Estados Unidos, enfatiza la condición transfronteriza quecubre al espacio en el que se encuentra y carga de significado al mismo como sitio de (re) iniciode procesos socioculturales.

La obra se destaca, además, por el rescate a través de las imágenes que lo componen, dediversos elementos característicos del escenario primitivo bajacaliforniano como el coyote, laserpiente, la luna y el borrego cimarrón, así como los colores y texturas que identifican el paisajenatural y espacio urbano de la ciudad.

El mural se encuentra en la cara norte del muro sureste de salida del puerto fronterizo “ElChaparral”, al costado oeste de los elementos de Secretaria de la Defensa Nacional, en lapuerta México, donde puede ser apreciado por todas las personas que ingresen al territoriotijuanense por dicha vía.

Los estudiantes en un pro-grama de preparación para launiversidad en Barrio Loganpronto tendrán computadorasmodernas gracias a un donativode la compañía tecnológicaHewlett-Packard (HP).

En las siguientes semanas,Barrio Logan College Instituterecibirá 50 computadoraspersonales y portátiles de HPcomo parte de una colabora-ción que han mantenido porsiete años.

De las 50 computadoras, 25computadoras personales seránusadas por los estudiantes, 10portátiles serán para los em-pleados de BLCI y las 15restantes serán para estudiantesde último año de high school,quienes hasta hace poco teníanque compartir ocho computa-doras personales.

Las 50 computadoras son“una bendición”, de acuerdo aJosé Cruz, director ejecutivo deBLCI.

“Los alumnos están entusi-asmados sobre las nuevascomputadoras HP, especial-mente nuestros estudiantes ensu último año de high school,que han tenido que compartirlas computadoras portátiles”,dijo Cruz. “BLCI ha sidobendecido por la continuagenerosidad de HP, cuyasdonaciones adelantan más losesfuerzos académicos de losestudiantes de BLCI y susfamilias”.

BLCI había estado traba-jando con computadoras re-novadas por muchos años, asíque el equipo y programas eranantiguos, lentos, dijo Cruz.Ahora los estudiantes podránusar el software más recientepara trabajar en sus tareas.

“Podrá usar software dematemáticas y otras materias”,

dijo. “Estas computadorasserán más veloces, más efi-cientes para las tareas de losestudiantes. También, losempleados recibirán nuevascomputadoras, así que podre-mos trabajar más eficien-temente”.

Cruz dijo que el donativorepresenta un ahorro de másde $50 mil dólares para BLCI.

“Trabajar con BLCI siempreme inspira”, dijo Ron Coughlin,vice presidente senior y gerentegeneral del grupo de sistemaspersonales de HP. “Los estudi-antes de BLCI y sus familiasprosperan a través de desafíossignificativos, para hacer laeducación de sus hijos unaprioridad para sus vidas. Re-conociendo los logros de losestudiantes en programas depreparación para la universidadde BLCI es solamente unaforma en cual HP San Diego yHP Hispanic Employee Net-work (HEN) colaboran conBarrio Logan College Insti-tute”.

Actualmente, BLCI sirve amás de 200 estudiantes en susubicaciones de Barrio Logany Chula Vista. Hasta hoy, todoslos graduados del programa deBLCI se han matriculado enla universidad. Y 81 por cientode esos se van directamente auna universidad de cuatro años.Alrededor de 94 por ciento delos graduados de BLCI segradúan de la universidad.

Para el 2015, Cruz dijo queBLCI se enfocará en expandirsu programa de Chula Vista,que sirve al área de CastlePark como parte de ChulaVista Promise Neighborhood,que se enfoca en familias deescasos recursos.

“Continuamos creciendopara tener un mayor impactoen nuestras comunidades”, dijoCruz. “Damos la bienvenida a

nuevos socios, corporativos osin fines de lucro, con misionessimilares a la nuestra”.

South Bay Community Ser-vices, una agencia de serviciossociales en Chula Vista, estátrabajando con BLCI en ChulaVista. En el poco tiempo desdeque abrió el Chula Vista Col-lege Institute, ha tenido untremendo impacto en el ve-cindario de Castle Park, quetiene mayoría latina.

“BLCI es un gran socio yes maravilloso poder traer sumodelo exitoso a Chula Vistay a la comunidad Castle Park”,dijo Mauricio Torre, director delDepartamento de DesarrolloJuvenil y Familiar de SouthBay Community Services. “Susperspectivas y experienciaúnicas no solo apoyan el logroacadémico sino también la vidafuera del salón de clases. Esteapoyo completo es la meta deCVPromise. BLCI está ayu-dando a las familias con unanueva visión para la educaciónde sus hijos”.

Cruz dijo que las 50 com-putadoras donadas por HPserán para la ubicación en Bar-rio Logan. Además de estedonativo, cada año los emple-ados de HP organizan una fi-esta navideña en diciembre,donde los estudiantes de últimoaño de high school recibencomputadoras portátiles parasu educación.

He said he decided to takepart in the San Diego LatinoFilm Festival Festival’s compe-tition because “movies are oneof (his) passions.”

In the red poster, one cansee traditional Latin Americanand film iconography, includingskulls, Mayan pyramids, filmcamera, and popcorn.

“I wanted to connect typog-raphy and iconography in amodern concept,” Cardulasaid. “So I have representedfamous Latin American sym-bols and from the film industrythrough simple and modernicons.”

Each year, the San DiegoLatino Film Festival launchesthe competition to select theposter, which becomes theface of the festival. The im-age is used in souvenir pro-grams, foldout posters, post-cards, and t-shirts.

“Announcing a winner forthe poster competition is al-ways exciting,” said PhillipLorenzo, exhibitions directorfor the San Diego Latino FilmFestival. “We get to see thevision of the festival, and it’sone of the first great revealsof our festival season”.

Regarding the winning post-er, Lorenzo said that “its de-sign elements very well repre-sent the many qualities about

the Latino Experience in SanDiego.”

The San Diego Latino FilmFestival will celebrate its 22ndedition from March 12-22, atits new home, the AMC Fash-ion Valley 18 at Simon FashionValley.

Festival founder and execu-tive director Ethan Van Thillosaid that the new venue will notonly bring new publics to thefilm festival, but it will also cre-ate new opportunities for ev-eryone involved.

“This is an incredible oppor-tunity for our event. By con-necting to the more than 18million people who go to thismall annually, it will provide thefestival with a wonderfulchance to educate more SanDiegans about Latino Cinemaand to introduce them to thewonderful film festival atmo-sphere”, Van Thillo said.

Film festival organizers areworking hard in the completeline-up and invited celebrities,which will be announced onFebruary 19th, in the festivalmedia party.

This year, in order to pro-mote careers in the film andrelated industries, the San Di-ego Latino Film Festival willpartner with the Jacobs Cen-ter for Community Innovationto host the first Creative Ca-reer Expo, on Saturday, March14.

“This unique event will pro-

mote careers such as fashion,music, technology, software,video gaming, film/video, archi-tecture, and design, to youth ofcolor (ages 15 to 25) that aresorely under-represented inthese industries,” Van Thillosaid.

The expo is part of the SanDiego Media Arts Center’s,the non-profit organizationbehund the festival, efforts toencourage diversity in Holly-wood and beyond. Van Thillosaid that the recent lack ofnominations for actors of colorin the Oscars highlights thisneed.

“There is of course a big-ger issue of lack of diversity inHollywood. Not just the annualOscars. This, after 22 years,the San Diego Latino Film Fes-tival continues to promote theneed for more filmmakers ofcolor and women representa-tion in the film/video industry,both in front and behind cam-eras”, he said.

Regarding this year’sposter, Van Thillo said that “itis a playful representation ofLatino cinema and life in theSan Diego-Baja California bor-der region.”

and signed on February 2,1848, it is the oldest treatystill in force between theUnited States and Mexico,and as a result, the UnitedStates acquired more than500,000 square miles ofterritory and emerged as aworld power in the latenineteenth century.”

The document thatbecame the most devestatinggame-changer for Mexico’sfuture, was a vision cometrue for U.S. PresidentJames K. Polk, and hisaggressive expansionisttendencies, who had fallenunder the spell of the U.S.Manifest Destiny. In 1844,he offered to purchase whatis now California fromMexico for $30 million. Itwas later revealed Polk wasactually hoping his offerwould be refused. It was.Then Polk hatched out hisoriginal acquisition plan, awar with Mexico.

It started with the USviolating a buffer zone on theTexas border and when theMexicans defendedthemselves, Congress agreedwith Polk, that the US wasbeing invaded so theydeployed troops intoMexican territory in 1846through 1849, eventuallywinning the war. Later, Polkgot the land deal of thecentury. Mexico’s cost forlosing the lopsided andunprovoked war, was indeedoverwhelming-the countrylost more than 50% of itsformer territory, includingpresent day Texas, NewMexico, Arizona, Californiaand most of Nevada, Utah,

and part of Colorado.“Ever since,” said a Texas

Chicana museum curator, Dr.Jesus Medel. “ Seems thateverything Mexican (with theexception of its cuisine)seems to irk many whiteAmericans!”

That things became worsefor Mexicans and those ofMexican descent, would bean understatement deluxe.The Californios and theirparadise by the Pacific wereno more.

Within a short period oftime, both Mexican andSpanish landowners werekicked off their land or killed.Even some of the olderfamilies who had been herefor more than 150 yearswere not shown any form ofrespect and were sentpacking.

For some NativeAmericans the imaginaryborder ran between theirlands, severing one groupfrom another. As far as theU.S. is concerned, theseNatives must go to aninternational border sitebefore crossing into eithercountry just to visit eachother, celebrate a birthday,etc.

The Tohono O’odhamNation, for instance, has28,000 enrolled members, ofwhom 1,400 live in Mexico.The tribe’s terrain oncestretched from Hermosillo,175 miles south of where theborder is now, all the waynorth to the Gila River inArizona and from Tucsonwest to the Colorado River.Today’s reservationencompasses a much smaller

area, a 2.8 million-acre chunkof Arizona the size ofConnecticut. But people whoidentify as tribal members stilllive as far as 90 miles southin Mexico.

Politically speaking, theword “treaty” is defined as“a formal agreementbetween two or more statesin reference to peace,alliance, commerce, or otherinternational relations.”

Peace? We beg to differon this one. While mostTejanos and Californiosenjoyed a somewhat tranquilway of life prior to the bloodyUS-Mexico War, whatfollowed was nowhere nearthe original intent of thedocuments produced by theearly US and Mexican hiredpoliticos. Alliance betweenthe two countries has alsosuffered at times whilecommerce has mostlyfavored rich U.S. companies.

A quick check on thesocial calendar of both landsindicates no big celebrationson deck for the Treaty’s 173rd

anniversary.It seems today’s

EuroAmericans havecompletely forgotten about1848 and how the U.S.came upon vast territories inthe Southwest. Mexicans,however, have a differentmindset.

Scholars tell of anapocryphal conversationbetween a Mexican diplomatand a U.S. diplomat wherethe Mexican diplomat tellsthe U.S. diplomat, “Thetrouble with you guys is younever remember, and wenever forget.”

Pope Francis has recentlyproposed the canonization ofFather Junipero Serra intosainthood based upon his mis-sionary work in colonial Mexi-co and the colony of Alta Cali-fornia. Normally, the processof canonization to achievesainthood within the CatholicChurch requires two ‘verified’miracles. Serra has previouslybeen credited with one by PopeJohn Paul II. Pope Francis hasstated that he is willing to makean “exemption and waive therules” for a required secondmiracle so that the process to-ward sainthood can move for-ward.

Before designating Serra asaint for his religious work inearly California, an impartialdiscussion needs to be held toevaluate the impact that theseefforts had upon the indigenouspeoples that he interacted withand evangelized to.

For many people today, theissue of Father Serra’s role inthe development of the Cali-fornia mission system and itsharsh methods of conversionis difficult to confront and dis-cuss in an objective and logi-cal manner. Many academicsand religious apologists have re-stated the worn-out phrase thatwe cannot assess and com-pare 18th century concepts,practices and any misconductby California’s missionariesthrough the use of 21st cen-tury standards. This is funda-mentally incorrect as this con-fused approach and form ofdenial would mean we cannotuse present historical methodsto record, analyze and evalu-ate any individuals or eventsfrom the past because we livein the present.

The spread of Europeancapitalism, colonialism andreligious dogma.

An evaluation of FatherSerra’s actions and their effectupon the native people of Cali-fornia needs to be done throughan historical analysis and notthrough a subjective religiousperspective.

As a historical figure Serra’spast activities must be viewedwithin the context of an expand-ing European colonialism, capi-talism and mercantilism that wasled by Spain which was then aworld power. The dominanteconomic perspective duringthis formative-capitalist periodin Europe viewed the acquisi-tion of colonies as a source ofincreased wealth for monarchs,the nobility and their develop-ing merchant capitalist classes.

The military conquests ofnew colonies were followed byCatholic missionaries whoserole was to expand Spanishcivilization, religion, social prac-tices and racial castes withinthese conquered regions.

This process of pacificationand conversion also includedremolding the outlook and livesof indigenous peoples to re-semble those of Europeans. Itwas within this historical con-text that Junipero Serra and theother Franciscan missionariesarrived in California with theirEuro-centric perspective andfeudalistic values.

Colonization and themission system resulted ina clash of civilizations.

During the 1700’s the Span-ish crown viewed the coloni-zation of Baja and especiallyAlta California as an urgentpriority in order to block the en-croachment from the north bycolonial rivals Britain and Rus-sia.

This plan was to be carriedout through the establishment ofa string of military presidios andmissions within California whichwere to be the foundation forfuture Spanish towns most ofwhom would be named afterCatholic saints such as San Di-

Father Serra, A Real Saint or Merely AEuropean Colonialist

ego, San Francisco and so on.The newly arrived pobla-

dores of these new settlementswere comprised of Spaniards,Mestizos and Afro-Spaniards.The indigenous population ofAlta California during the1700’s ranged from two tothree hundred thousand peoplewho existed in a hunter-gath-erer civilization of about 100different communal tribes. Thisnew system of colonizationwithin California had soldiersfrom the presidios subjugateand round up the inhabitants ofindigenous villages and forcethem onto the newly-createdmissions where they would beconfined and forced to labor.

It was at these missionswhere Serra and his priestscarried out their religious workof ‘civilizing’ about a fourth ofthe state’s indigenous popula-tion by converting them to Ca-tholicism and supervising theirlabor. In addition to religiousindoctrination and coerced la-bor the priests also tried toeliminate the culture, languageand identities of the “missionIndians” through a system ofpressure and punishment.

This remolding process eveninvolved changing the physicalappearance of the indigenouspeoples through the forced useof European clothes, hair stylesand Spanish names. The use offlogging by the mission priestswas a normal procedure thatwas used as a form of punish-ment against individuals whobroke the rules or who were ac-cused of committing ‘sins’ andtherefore in need of harsh spiri-tual enhancement through whip-ping. Others who attempted toescape from the missions werecaught by soldiers and severelypunished which at times meanthaving a foot cut off. While notclassified formally as slaves, thestrict control, lack of freedomand forced exploitation of na-tive labor were in essence thecharacteristics of slavery.

Should armed colonialexpansionists and harshrulers be viewed assaints?

The question of whetherFather Serra was a kindly saint,or merely a key representativeof an oppressive colonial sys-tem who only carried out or-ders, needs to be based uponfactual results and not thevagueness of faith or even thedenial of harsh reality.

A fundamental questionneeds to be asked in order toevaluate Serra and the resultsof his colonizing work and ar-

rive at a firm conclusion. Thisquestion is whether the lives ofthe majority of indigenouspeople within the state wereactually improved economi-cally, socially and even demo-cratically by Spanish colonial-ism and Serra’s Catholic mis-sion system and did his religiouswork assist the existing civili-zations to progress? Or was itthe opposite and did he and hisFranciscans along with theSpanish military assist in under-mining and extinguishing a civi-lization native to California, itsculture and thousands of lives?

A positive aspect of theseCalifornia settlements is thatthe Spaniards implanted a moreadvanced economic systemand certain social rules andnorms while their nascentpueblos led to the developmentof the state’s present townsand cities. With the emergenceof the Californios under sub-sequent Mexican rule the mis-sions were dismantled and asystem of ranchos was ex-panded throughout the state asa growing Mestizo populationbegan to develop.

In order to objectively evalu-ate Serra’s missionary work wecan’t rely solely on an organi-zation that is based upon sub-jective faith and a belief inmiracles such as the Catholicchurch. This would be similarto asking the police to investi-gate themselves in an impartialmanner. Serra is viewed andpromoted by the CatholicChurch through a narrow reli-gious prism as a prospectivesaint based upon his missionarywork of recruiting more con-verts and expanding the powerof the church into the Ameri-cas. However, in the real worldof historical facts, his role andactions played a leading role ina colonial system that forcefullydismantled a civilization, cultureand languages and devastateda population that never fully re-covered. While Serra may havehad good intentions and in cer-tain instances lessened theharsh rule of the military, suchwell-meaning intent and mis-guided efforts often create anopposite and negative result.

In conclusion, Serra de-serves to be designated as pri-marily being a willing and ag-gressive tool of European co-lonialism and a harmful one atthat.

As a coalition of 39 preeminent Latino orga-nizations, the National Hispanic LeadershipAgenda (NHLA) seeks to influence publicpolicy to ensure that Latino interests are takeninto account at the national level. This is animportant time to reflect on what the Latinoadvocacy community believes Congress shouldaccomplish and which policy areas Latinosshould keep an eye on in the coming weeks. Itis all of our responsibility to hold Members ofCongress accountable.

As a new Congress convenes, CongressionalRepublican leaders have repeatedly under-scored their desire for bipartisanship. This is awelcome approach and now that they are inthe majority they have two years to prove thatthey are serious about this effort.

While Latinos are impacted by every publicpolicy issue debated at the federal level, thereare at least four areas with a tradition of bipar-tisan cooperation where the 114th Congressshould start. NHLA has national campaigns tosupport these efforts and we look forward toworking with Congress to ensure we make realprogress on the following:

1. ImmigrationCongressional Republicans have complained

about President Obama’s executive actions onimmigration, which he took as a direct result ofthe House of Representatives’ inability to passimmigration reform legislation, despite supportfrom a majority of its membership. With a newCongress comes a new opportunity for theHouse to pass legislation. Everyone agrees thata legislative solution is the best course of ac-tion, and the work of the Senate in 2013 dem-onstrates that a bipartisan solution is achiev-able.

In the Senate, the majority that passed a bi-partisan immigration reform bill in June 2013remains largely intact after the midterm elec-tions. Of the 68 Senators who voted for thebill, 57 remain in office today, and at least threenew Senators are immigration reform support-ers, providing a filibuster-proof majority forpassing the bill again.

In the meantime, we will continue to supportthe President’s executive action on adminis-trative relief to fix our broken immigration sys-tem. President Obama has the legal authorityto execute these actions and they are impor-tant measures which will provide much neededrelief to our communities as we wait for Con-gressional action.

Unfortunately, House leadership has chosento start the 114th Congress in an anti-immigrantand anti-compromise fashion, voting on repealingthe President’s immigration actions. Turning theclock back on immigration enforcement thatputs people in fear of deportation and familyseparation is cruel and wrong-headed. Therewill be no social, economic, or public safetybenefit to the nation. Republicans must join thebroad coalition of business, labor, and faithgroups that support fixing our broken immigra-tion system with comprehensive legislation.

2. The EconomyLatinos were among those hit hardest by the

great recession, recent improvements in theeconomy and job market have been critical forour community. This new Congress can dem-onstrate sound economic leadership by, first ofall, not repeating any of the manufactured cri-ses that caused a government shutdown andbrought our nation to the brink of default. Theinstability these unnecessary crises createharms the economy and hurts Latino businessesand workers alike.

Second, Congress should ensure that its ef-forts to keep government spending in check donot come at the expense of needed investmentsin our long term prosperity which depend onadequate funding for education and job-train-ing.

Third, Congress should also permanently ex-tend the 2009 expansions of the refundableportions of the Earned Income Tax Credit andChild Tax Credit - popular tax credits that re-ward work and keep millions of adults and chil-dren out of poverty.

3. Nominees To Serve In TheAdministration

The confirmation process for the president’snominees has too often devolved into politicalpoint-scoring. Sometimes nominations are evendelayed for reasons completely unrelated to thenominee or their qualifications. Latino nomi-nees have been among those to suffer fromthis dynamic. With the fresh start that this Con-gress provides, the new majority has the op-portunity to put past practices behind it andexercise the role of advice and consent as ourconstitution’s framers intended. At a minimum,nominations should be brought to the Senatefloor in a timely fashion for a straight-forwardyes-or-no vote, rather than held in limbo indefi-nitely.

4. Voting RightsThis year marks the 50th Anniversary of the

landmark Voting Rights Act (VRA). This piv-otal legislation has repeatedly protected vot-ers, particularly those in minority communities,from those who would seek to perpetuate theirown power by denying the democratic voiceof others. Unfortunately, discriminatory prac-tices still appear whenever the growth of theminority vote is perceived as threatening to thepowerful. The elections season has become liti-gation season, as voters are often forced toseek judicial recourse when discriminatorychanges are put in place and implemented inthe weeks and months prior to a vote. The Su-preme Court has weakened the deterrent ef-fect of the VRA and eliminated its most effi-cient component. The 2006 VRA reauthoriza-tion - the fourth time the VRA was reautho-rized - occurred under a Republican majorityin both chambers of Congress. There shouldremain a strong understanding of the universalsupport for the right to vote.

What better way for Congress to pay tributeto this 50th anniversary of the VRA than toenact a critical restoration of the one of themost powerful and efficient portions of the ven-erable act. Amendment of the VRA enjoysstrong bipartisan support inside and outside ofCongress. As a growing population, Latinos, inparticular, need a modernized Voting Rights Actfollowing the Supreme Court’s narrow 2013decision to strike down the formula for its pre-clearance provisions. Modernization can andshould benefit all voters, including particularlythose groups whose growth in democratic par-ticipation may be wrongly perceived as a threat.

Before Latino voters turn their attention to-ward the presidential contest next year, bothparties in Congress have the opportunity to builda record - not just rhetoric - of pragmatic solu-tions that support Latino families, workers, busi-nesses, and consumers. This is an opportunitythat could pay huge dividends come 2016,where the Latino vote will play a critical role,and our coalition will be scoring these votes.

Top Latino Priorities for the 114th Congress

By Sarah Labadie

President Obama’s proposal in hisState of the Union address for tuition-free community college could changemillions of lives.

In my job, I fight to protect the fund-ing for Illinois’ financial aid program,MAP. I hear stories from low-wage work-ing women who want to earn a degreethat would help them get better jobs sothey can support themselves and theirfamilies.

So when I think about Obama’s plan fortwo years of free community college, Idon’t think about whom it can help in theabstract.

I think about Elena, who spent 12 yearsworking at a warehouse, scraping by onincredibly low wages and acting as theprimary caretaker of her parents. Afterfinancial aid helped her graduate with herbachelor’s degree, she said, “I am filledwith hope, because with the skills I’vegained, the sky is the limit.”

I think of Jenny, who started collegewhile living in a battered women’s shel-ter. She wants to earn her degree in radi-ology technology to get a job that willhelp her become self-sufficient and cre-ate a safe, stable life for herself and herfamily.

Too many people don’t realize that theaverage community college student is agrown woman like Elena or Jenny, hop-ing to change her life. The average com-munity college student is a 29-year-oldwoman who attends school part timewhile working to support herself, accord-ing to the American Association of Com-munity Colleges. She very well might besupporting her kids, too, since nearlyone-third of community college stu-dents are parents.

And America’s prospective students of-ten can’t afford tuition. Even thoughcommunity college is cheap comparedto many private institutions, its cost is amajor barrier for low-wage workers whoneed an education to seek better jobs.More than two-thirds of adult studentswho drop out of college likely do so be-cause they don’t have the money to con-tinue, according to data from the ApolloResearch Institute.

Our current financial aid programs

aren’t big enough to meet the need, andthey’re constantly threatened by budgetcuts.

Obama’s proposal offers tuition-freecommunity college for students who at-tend at least half time, keep their aver-age above 2.5 and make steady progresstoward a degree.

The plan represents the right directionfor our country.

Two years of college doesn’t just ben-efit the student; it improves the lives ofher family and her community. An asso-ciate degree means an average 27 percentincrease in lifetime earnings over a highschool graduate’s, according to the Col-lege Board’s 2013 report. It also meansunemployment is much less likely thanfor a person with a high school diploma.

For our economy, it means 34 percentmore in taxes paid. It means less reli-ance on other assistance programs. Andit means healthier, stronger communi-ties, since associate degree earners aremore likely to vote, to volunteer and tospend time with their children.

What’s more, our economy is in des-perate need of workers with such de-grees. The National Skills Coalition’sdata showed that in 2012, 54 percent ofjobs in the United States required morethan a high school diploma and less thana four-year degree.

Obama’s proposal is not perfect. Stu-dents at community colleges need strongguidance and counseling programs tohelp them progress toward their degrees.Many will need help with other expenses,such as transportation, child care, booksand living costs. And many working par-ents, especially single moms, who willneed to attend school less than half timewill not be covered by this program.

Every person should have the chanceto go to college. Low-wage workingwomen like Elena and Jenny should beable to earn the degrees they need to getbetter jobs and more stable lives.

We can — and need — to do better.We owe it to Elena and Jenny, and weowe it to ourselves.

Obama's Tuition-Free Proposal CouldBe Transformative

Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D.

La película sobre la vida Chris Kyle,francotirador de la Naval norteamericana, esuna de las más taquilleras de la temporada ytambién una de las más controversiales delmomento. ¿Quién es Chris Kyle? ¿Es un héroeo un asesino desalmado?

De acuerdo a la perspectiva que propone eldirector Clint Eastwood, la vida de Kyle en loscampos de batalla de Irak es un paradigmatípico del heroísmo del soldado norteamericano.Kyle no simplemente resguarda la seguridadde sus camaradas desde los edificios altos deFallujah en Irak, sino que es un padresacrificado y querendón, a pesar de la distanciade su familia.

Los actos heroicos que lo caracteriza losrealiza a través de cuatro viajes y cuatroenfrentamientos contra las tropas de losrebeldes iraquíes. Su inicio como francotiradores sumamente dramático, debido a que involu-cra a un niño, quien es forzado por su madre aportar una granada y hacerla explotar en mediode un convoy norteamericano.

Antes de hacer explotar la granada, Kylemata al niño de un balazo. Y luego, la madre, alver que su hijo cae y no logra su objetivo, de-cide recoger el explosivo y lanzarlo contra el

convoy. Kyle se lo impide. Le tira un balazo yla deja estirada en el piso. Es una escena que anadie le gustaría ver, pero, paradójicamente, esla parte más importante de la película, la cualbusca altos ratings y jugosas ganancias y nodecir toda la verdad.

Por consiguiente, la objetividad no existe enel trabajo de Eastwood. La película es un relatobasado en el libro del propio Kyle, quién narraen primeras personas y utiliza la crónica parahacer resaltar pasajes de su vida e inten-cionalmente crea una “leyenda” viviente en lasociedad norteamericana. No tiene ningúnproblema en llamar “salvages” a la poblacióniraquí y matar a más de 150 personas.

En una institución militar, los soldados sedesensibilizan. La vida ya no tiene un significadovaledero. Después de ir a la guerra, algunos sedesquician y matan porque es parte del oficio ydel trabajo. Otros pocos, matan por matar.

Chris Kyle puede haber salvado la vida dealgunos soldados norteamericanos y puedeincluso ser un héroe, pero en el fondo de su sersubyace esa personalidad que Anna Arendtllamó “banalidad del mal”.

El caos republicanoPor Maribel Hastings

Llámele como quiera: caos, desmadre,despelote, revolú, quilombo, follón, pero lo queestá claro es que el ascenso republicano al poderno ha sido tan simple como muchos anticipabany la guerra civil que libra ese partido por suesencia y su futuro es un espectáculo a la vistade todos.

Los republicanos controlan ambas cámarasdel Congreso, pero la papa caliente de lainmigración está poniendo a prueba al liderazgoy plasmando las profundas divisiones entre lasfacciones de ese partido que suponen escollosa sus intentos de recuperar la Casa Blanca en2016.

Des Moines, Iowa, fue escenario este pasadosábado de la llamada Cumbre de la Libertad oFreedom Summit, un foro convocado por elantiinmigrante congresista republicano de eseestado, Steve King, que reunió a la crema ynata ultraconservadora en un circo dondealgunos de los aspirantes a la nominaciónpresidencial republicana con las menoresposibilidades de conseguirla se dieron cita paracongraciarse con la base más radical que losayuda en las primarias y asambleas pero que,una vez obtenida la nominación, no les sirve demucho para ganar la elección general.

Como en otras ocasiones, un grupo deDREAMers confrontó a los aspirantespreguntando si, de ganar la nominación yposteriormente la presidencia, revocarían lasacciones ejecutivas migratorias giradas por elpresidente Barack Obama. King nodesaprovechó la oportunidad para lanzar unmal chiste diciendo que los DREAMers o los“deportables” como él los llama, vienen de “otroplaneta”.

Pero esta situación no da risa.Al dejar que esa ultraderecha domine el

discurso migratorio, los republicanos siguenapostando a no necesitar de otros grupos devotantes, como los latinos, para ganarelecciones generales. Se escudan en que gananelecciones al Congreso como si los mapas olos ciclos electorales no fueran diferentes, ycomo si les bastara la base anglosajona y másconservadora para competir efectivamenteante los demócratas.

Al menos cinco de los potenciales aspirantesrepublicanos no acudieron a la cumbre en Iowa:Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, MarcoRubio y Bobby Jindal, pero eso no quiere decirque no tengan que aclarar sus posturas: ¿apoyano no una reforma migratoria con vía a laciudadanía? Si ganaran la nominación yeventualmente la presidencia, ¿revocarían lasacciones ejecutivas migratorias de Obama?

Bush, en un acto en San Francisco el pasadoviernes y hablando de inmigración en el contextodel desarrollo económico, declaró que “debehaber una vía a la legalización para aquellosque han venido aquí y languidecen en lassombras”.

Rubio, por su parte, baila según el son que letoquen. Fue uno de los impulsores del planS.744 con una vía a la ciudadanía que el Senadoaprobó en 2013, pero cuando vio que ponía enpeligro sus aspiraciones presidenciales, dio ungiro de 180 grados y ahora lo denuncia en fa-vor de una reforma por partes que comiencecon la seguridad fronteriza. Ha denunciadoademás las acciones ejecutivas migratorias deObama.

Las divisiones no se dan sólo entre losaspirantes a la nominación presidencialrepublicana. En el Congreso son la orden deldía.

El liderazgo republicano en el Senado debedecidir qué hacer con el plan de gastos delDepartamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS)que la Cámara Baja envió con enmiendas querevocan las acciones ejecutivas de Obamaconvirtiendo a millones en vulnerables a ladeportación. En el Senado hay republicanos queno quieren mezclar los asuntos colocando enaprietos al líder republicano, Mitch McConnell.Antes los republicanos lamentaban no tener lamayoría en el Senado para impulsar las medidasdescabelladas que enviaba la Cámara Baja, yahora su mayoría de 54 votos se queda cortapor seis votos para frenar bloqueos demócratas.

En la Cámara Baja, el presidente cameralJohn Boehner debe decidir si seguirán enviandoal Senado proyectos simbólicos que no tienenposibilidad de aprobación al no contar con 60votos para superar los bloqueos de la minoría.

Esta semana se sometería a votación cam-eral un proyecto de ley de Mike McCaul,republicano de Texas que preside el Comité deSeguridad Nacional, que se concentra enseguridad fronteriza imponiendo una serie derequisitos y penalidades que el propio DHS diceque son imposibles de conseguir, y que losrepublicanos de línea dura dicen que no es losuficientemente severo.

La medida se percibe como un intento delliderazgo de apaciguar a su facciónultraconservadora, pero por ninguna parte dicequé hacer con el gran elefante blanco en mediodel salón, del proceso primarista republicano yde la elección 2016: qué hacer con los millonesde indocumentados.

Qué desbarajuste.

Dear Mexican: Why is rock enespañol so mellow? You’d think that withso much injustice, Mexican rock bandswould sound angrier.

El Gigante de Anaheim

Dear Anaheim Giant: You’d think so,right? Back in the Mexican’s rockero days,groups like Maldita Vecindad, Café Tacuba,El Gran Silencio, and so many more werelaying down tracks as political as they weremoshable—for crying out loud, death metalicons Brujería once recorded a song imaginghateful California governor Pete “Pito”Wilson getting assassinated with an AK-47.And who can forget rock gods El Tri singabout wiping their shit-stained culos with theborder wall in “El Muro de la Vergüenza”(“The Wall of Shame”)? But those days arelong-gone; nowadays, you’re lucky if thelatest pop chanteuse even gives a shout-outto the 43 disappeared students ofAyotzinapa. Answer is simple: Maná. Oh,“matando güeros/estilo O.J. Simpson”where art thou?

My wife and I chose to adopt childreninstead of having our own. We wereliving in Costa Mesa at the time so weput down white or Latino as apreference, but were open to anyethnicity. We ended up adopting six, allLatino. It wasn’t until after we broughthome a seven-year-old boy (now 15)that we were told that he was a Mexicancitizen, abandoned here in the U.S. foryears. When we started the adoptionprocess, the Mexican governmentfought hard to get him back. I did a littleresearch and discovered that Mexicodoes not seem to want Americans toadopt Mexican children. I can totallyunderstand why a country would want tokeep its children, but in that same yearMexico allowed only 73 American

adoptions, tinyGuatemala allowedthousands. It painsus when we go withour church to helpout at orphanagesright across theborder knowingthat those childrenwant families and Americans just a fewmiles away are willing to adopt them.

Gringos Frustrados

Dear Gabacho: One of the reasonsGuatemala had such high adoption figureslast decade—numbering into the miles, asyou put it; over 4,000 in 2007 alone—wasbecause Guatemala is a poorer country thanMexico, and the government was more thanwilling to unload poor kids abroad; thingsgot so crazy that the U.S. Embassy inGuatemala is no longer allowing adoptionsfrom the country, period. Mexico, on theother hand, has always been more tight-fisted with its chamacos getting intogabacho hands—a 2011 El Paso Timesinvestigation found “virtually no newadoption requests from Mexico to the U.S.were processed between 2008 and late2009” due to American, Mexican, andinternational bylaws. I feel how frustratedustedes are about the situation, but Mexicoand other countries need to guard againstchild exploitation. On the other hand, themfighting ustedes over a kid already in losEstados Unidos reeks of jingoism— it’severy Mexican’s mandate to fuck withgabachos at all time, after all. Just pay offthose officials with pesos or something andtell them to vayanse a la chingada.

MEXICO CITY — There’s been a lot of debatelately about President Barack Obama’s execu-tive action that will grant legal status to someundocumented immigrants. It builds upon anearlier program that aided young immigrantsbrought here illegally as children.

But some young people were deported be-fore they could take advantage of that program.Now those deportees are speaking out.

Nancy Landa has spent the last five yearsfeeling frustrated and misunderstood. In 2009she found herself alone at the border in Tijuanacarrying just her purse and a $20 bill.

“It was like in the middle of thenight…stranded in Tijuana,” Landa said.

Landa had been picked up by immigrationauthorities in Los Angeles, detained for eighthours, and deported that same day.

“You are in shock most of time,” she said.“I cried a lot.”

Landa lived in the United States for 19 yearsas an undocumented youth. Her parents tookher there illegally when she was 9 years old.They made a life in Los Angeles. Landa gradu-ated college with honors and worked for non-profit organizations until the day of her depor-tation.

“It’s basically almost like experiencing death,because it’s a part of you that’s dead. Yourwhole life that you worked toward is no longerthere,” she said.

Now her life is in Mexico, and it’s beentough. She struggled to get credit for her Ameri-can education and find a desirable job. FellowMexicans question her nationality, even thoughshe was born here. They also criticize her Span-ish.

“In Los Angeles, I never had to explain Iwas a Mexican with an American identity, or aMexican-American, but here it’s a constantexplanation because I think there’s not enoughunderstanding,” Landa said.

Not enough understanding about how she’sback in her birth country after a nearly lifelongabsence. It’s like she’s a foreigner in her ownland. And she’s not alone. Hundreds of thou-sands of Mexican nationals are deported from

the U.S. annually. Among them are youngpeople who have little or no recollection ofMexico.

“I think that deportation is really experiencedas sort of a black hole,” said Jill Anderson, anindependent researcher based in Mexico City.

Anderson recently co-authored a book thatprofiles deported youth in Mexico. Landa’sstory is among those profiles.

“After deportation the idea that the strugglecontinues, that life continues is not somethingthat’s really a part of the public discourse,”Anderson said.

In the United States undocumented youthwho arrived illegally as children are known asDREAMers — named after a failed legisla-tive attempt to help legalize them.

In 2012, Obama issued an executive actionthat granted eligible DREAMers temporary de-portation relief and permission to work. ButDREAMers who had already been deported,like Landa, were not eligible.

“It makes me mad,” Landa said. “That’s thereason… I came out public with my story be-cause I felt like I needed a platform and Ineeded to say, ‘You know what? There’s otherpeople who are being left out.’”

Landa is part of an emerging organizationknown as Los Otros Dreamers, or the OtherDreamers. They are deported youth living inMexico. They want a voice in the U.S. debateon immigration reform. They also want Mexicoto recognize them and create programs to aidtheir transition.

“People actually tell us that we are trying tobe pretentiously gringos or Americanized andwe’re like, ‘No, that’s my identity, that’s whatI grew up in,’” she said. “So we want a spacewhere we’re accepted and I think that we needto change to public conversation as to who weare.”

And although Landa faces a ten-year banfrom legally entering the United States, shedreams of going back.

“I want to be able to travel and visit myfriends and the home where I grew up,” shesaid. “Mexico is my country of nationality butLos Angeles is my home.”

While she can’t physically cross the border,she knows that her voice and her story can.

Deported Youth Feel Forgotten In Mexico

the same paths as always; we have to dare todo something different and we have to build itourselves.”

He affirmed that the movement must pro-pose the country’s transformation. “We asAyotzinapa students and parents want to stickto the main slogan that has reverberated acrosthe whole world: bring back our students alive,but we also must begin to push for the trans-formation of Mexico.”

And he issued the invitation that would berepeated throughout the demonstration: “We willbe waiting for you on February 5 to open dis-cussion and attempt to forge national unity ofMexicans on a common agenda that will allowus once and for all to transform this country,against these corrupt institutions that are use-less and do nothing to help our people.”

Other voices heavy with grief echoed in thehistoric square. Epifanio Álvarez, another fa-ther of one of the 43, said:

“We left our homes, our crops because weare humble peasants, but with a lot of heartand courage. We have suffered so much, butwe’re not tired, we’ll keep fighting. A childcannot be forgotten, like the president said thattime about it being time to get over it. We willfight to the end, with the support of you whofeel what we are going through. Sometimes attwo o’clock in the morning we remember andwe start to cry. With your support we will con-tinue without stopping. “

The Zócalo shouted in unison, ‘You are notalone! Peña Out!

The diagnosis is raw: governments, clergy,political parties are accomplices of crime. No-body has done anything to put an end to thissituation. The form of politics based on hand-ing out illicit money has allowed crime to be-

come embedded in political parties, which thenbecome murderers of the people.

The neoliberal policies that the governmenthas dogmatically adopted, the document con-tinues, impoverish the majority and enrich a fewoligarchs. Extractive companies blatantly stealthe natural resources of farmers and indigenouspeoples, taking their territories without consul-tation and with government complicity.

In the case of Ayotzinapa, the governmentfaces its own disgrace, accumulated over thecourse of several presidential administrationsfull of lies and policies contrary to the interestsof the majority of the population.

“Don’t take my word for it,” said BardoFlores, another father who spoke at the rally.“It’s what experts from the National Univer-sity say, that the version of events presentedby Murillo Karam (Federal Attorney General)is not credible. He forgot that although we arefarmers, although we are workers, low-incomepeople, we are also thinking beings and we willnot be deceived.”

The Ayotzinapa movement has propelled theconstruction of a new national consciousness,weaving the unity of many sectors dissatisfiedwith the neoliberal model. They see this as anopportunity to forge together a democratic andpopular outlet to transform the system politicalMexican, plagued by the worst crisis of the lasthalf century.
